    I heard (My20 broadcast) that Alston had to be taken to the hospital for his ankle sprain.

    Anyone know of his status? (Ex. Fine, Still in hospital, shanking a guy in a bar, etc?)

    Ok, that last one is a bit farfetched...

    It's an ankle sprain. Season is done.

    What's the hurry?

    but
    as a precautionary measure
    The Rockets quickly Rushed him to the Trading Block

    RR, you are terrible! :p

    We need to keep Alston though.

    Brooks was terrible in the playoffs! I dunno if it was his jitters or something, but his three pt shooting was horrific.

    BJax needs to go. Francis and BJax can be traded, in my eyes. I don't think we need to get another rookie PG. Too much mentoring by Alston! Jose Calderon would be nice. He can play the SG too, much better than Rafer.

    Man I dunno what was wrong with Brooks but he sure didn't look like an NCAA Three Pt shooting champion. Francis and BJax I think you let em slug it out in preseason and then make some choices later if we even make any. I think we are good standing pat.
